Man’s Life September 1967
Man’s Life September 1956 – Weasels Ripped My Flesh
With eye-catching painted covers and over the top headlines, Man’s Life magazine provided titillating reading for men from the 1950s through the 1970s.
Man’s Life was the magazine that came up with the now infamous headline “Weasels Ripped My Flesh,” which musician Frank Zappa later appropriated with new artwork for his band’s 1970 album cover.
How could any red blooded male resist stories such as “Sex tricks that make women beg you for love”? Or in the same September 1967 issue: “American towns where vice is legal!”

Growing up in the 1950s, my trips to the barber meant catching up my Man’s Life, and similar magazines, reading. Always had those beautiful blonde buxom Nazis to deal deal with and rampaging animals of all sorts. Also got to enjoy Police Gazette, Argosy, True Crime, or if I was lucky, a well worn second-rate girlie magazine with half the pictures ripped out.
